A blog about Greek, Latin, & Classical Humanities

If you want to prac­tice speak­ing Latin with some of the peo­ple who know best both how to do it and how to help oth­ers learn com­fort­ably, then check out the Con­ven­tic­u­lum Lat­inum, Annual Work­shop for Spo­ken Latin at the Uni­ver­sity of Ken­tucky (Lex­ing­ton). The work­shop is run by the ven­er­a­ble duo of Ter­ence Tun­berg and Milena Minkova. I attended a one-​​day work­shop of theirs at Dick­in­son col­lege, and it was a great experience.

You can learn more on their site and sign up to attend the eight day (!) event, held July 17–24 next year. $100 to attend, and $140 for 7 days of break­fast and lunch and 5 nights of din­ner. You can find your own lodg­ing or stay in the dorms for $27/​night.

Quite a deal for such an oppor­tu­nity. If you’re a teacher, just think of the PD hours you can get out of that!
